Apparently, these freeloadin' librul Florida wildflowers want to not die, so a bill was brought up through the Florida Legislature to save them via their specialized Florida wildflower license plates that state residents can purchase for $15.

For more than a decade now, the proceeds from these plates have gone to those lefty pinko Florida Wildflower Foundation people, who have taken that money and given it to schools and other nature-loving groups to go and plant more of the wildflowers throughout Florida.

A new bill proposed raising the price of the plates from $15 to $25. JUST LIKE THEY DO IN COMMUNIST CHINA.

The bill won a collective 150-0 votes on both sides of the aisle in both the Senate and the House.

But hero Rick Scott was all not on my watch! and vetoed the bill:

The bill increases the annual use fee for a specialty license plate; an expense in addition to the standard fees paid when registering a motor vehicle. Although buying a specialty license plate is voluntary, Floridians wishing to demonstrate their support for our State's natural beauty would be subjected to the cost increases sought by this bill.

For this reason, I withhold my approval of House Bill 265 and do hereby veto the same.

Sincerely,

Rick Scott

Governor

That's right, Trotsky Flower Lovers. Your days of free government handouts are at an end!

Even though the price rise for the plate would really be borne only by the person choosing to buy it, it's really the principal of the thing here.

Raising the price on a thing you put on your car that will help the environment and preserve Florida wildflowers will simply make other things more expensive. Like auto registrations and such.
